Especially among the yeshivot for Anglos.<br /><br />We have a neighbor who went there with very limited foundations in learning. He spent two years there, then went on to succeed in two yeshivot hesder. Now that he&#39;s finished the army, he has started at Hebrew U. He has a broad, inquiring mind and is able to keep up with his learning Torah while taking on the new challenges he has chosen. Yesodei HaTorah seems to have fostered that; so I have a pretty good impression of what they do. This fellow still keeps in touch with them.<br /><br />Rafi, you know they&#39;re your neighbors, right? When our young friend was there, they were on Zanoah.<br /><br />(BTW, I&#39;ll be in your neighborhood the next three Shabbatot, God willing.)Mordechai Y.
